Find album reviews, stream songs, credits and award information for The Novelist/Walking Without Effort - Richard Swift on AllMusic - 2005 - Beginning with an arc of distant, echo-laden&hellip. Richard Swift was a go-to producer and collaborator for countless marquee acts, including The Shins, The Black Keys, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, John Prine, Guster, Foxygen, Marco Benevento and Kevin Morby. That canonical title heralds more to come, and I wouldn't be surprised if he already has his next six albums written and recorded (in fact, his next is planned for early 2006). He even self-released both of them before signing with Secretly Canadian, which is collecting them as one release, immodestly subtitled The Richard Swift Collection, Vol. He penned all the songwriterly songs and wrote all the whimsical interludes on his first two mini-albums, The Novelist and Walking Without Effort, and handled engineering and artwork duties, and played most of the instruments. Richard Swift sure sounds like a bedroom auteur.
